On the contrary, rule #1 of nuclear war is live directly next to a major target so you get the instantaneous atomization death over the cancer-and-famine option.
Not everyone in Hiroshima or Nagasaki died instantly
Yes, and try and live close to the center of where you think the nuke would be targeted. If it comes, you’ll be vaporized instantly with no awareness. Depending on the size of the nuke, if you’re outside of that radius, you get shockwave, firestorm and fallout depending on distance, and while you will almost certainly die, it may not be quick and painless.
Idk it would be pretty neat to see the blastwave.
Imagine the Tik Toks.
Got to see blast wave, lost my eyes due to exploding window, worth it.
but what if you're opening the fridge for a late midnight muckbang video with a last minute sponser and then suddenly the initial shockware knocks you into the fridge and when you get out all your manikins are on fire?
Well, yeah, there is that possibility.
If you're close enough, the shockwave is fast enough that the heat generated from the speed of the shockwave would instantly vaporize your body.
